Who are you more disappointed by - Hayden or George? Given that it's George's creation, you'd think he would have been a bit more strict in the process of directing actors to be more convincing in their emotions? Weird because he gives off the impression that the Prequels meant a lot to him, yet nearly every spoken word of dialogue (even from experienced actors) sounded strained

I mean I wasn't as irritated with him as I know others where but I think that casting needed to be revisited or the he needed to be coached or something.

Sarah hasn't committed to full Prequel-hatred yet. Me and Tar are working on her.

The acting leaves a lot to be desired. The line deliveries from pretty much everyone were robotic. Even from Natalie. It's why the Originals and Sequels are miles ahead, for me, in terms of quality. That said, some of my family love ROTS, so I have to be neutral to avoid arguments

I blame George more than Hayden just because I think George made strong actors (Natalie and Ewan) dumb down their talent and make them say their lines as awkwardly as possible. Hayden probably never would've been a good Anakin even with another director, but George really went out of his way to make it crappy.
